  1. Nice shots 711, but would you happen to know why these units were retrofitted with the LEDs (flimsy flipdots maybe?)? Also, it's interesting to see how the MTA isn't reactivating the LED units for MTA bus....
  2. ^^^^ To add on, new equipment is usually tested on the Sea Beach express track and sometimes the Culver express track (mainly the BMT EL section).
  3. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. The windows are fine too... they're just covered up by maps from the inside.
  5. Lol guize chill. AAANYWAY, when will the R32s hit service on the / anyway, and has that R160A maintenance started yet? (sorry if I'm late)
  6. This prediction question may not last long due to several factors (if you know wot I mean), but maybe the Orion 5 CNGs
  7. You answered yo own question lol (permission depends on the particular driver). Anyway, wots up with 5656 m8?
  8. "And you have those that live across the globe..." - Wise words from B-Lee. Wonder if I'll end up finding any Orion 5 CNGs in August...

  10. Wow... that looks real nice! Great to see that they did this!
  11. I think only one pair was actually taken off property (3746/47); the other two pairs are still used for parts or something (3676/77 & 3797/97)... another pair (3720/21) is also at CIY but I have no idea about its status.
  12. Another source says 18 months... wonder wot the MTA will do.
  13. There are 8 cars that are being prepped again, and like 4 more at 207th but those are for parts.
  14. Damn... it's a matter of days before the other two in the Bronx join... and then those 5 3 in Manny go too.
  15. I don't think any retired R42s are being reactivated... those 14 units at 207th are just not qualified for service. (or at least it doesn't look like it)
  16. So, it seems that 3 R32 sets (24 cars) are slated to operate temporarily on the ... wonder how this will turn out... and I wonder if more will be transferred...
  17. Until the summer ends, or until all train R160s are SMSed.
  18. Some R188s are being transported to Corona... they are very similar to R142s; they have strip maps.
  19. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would you happen to know what happened with those R32s stored at Fresh Pond by any chance?
  20. It's probably chemicals from the streets mixing with the water... cars spilling oil and all that.
